Professor Moul specializes in empirical industrial
organization, but he is generally interested in applied micro topics. His work
to date has focused upon the economics of motion picture distribution
(especially regarding information and advertising), the impact of marginal
costs on firm entry decisions (specifically taxes in the retail gasoline
industry), vertical issues (in movies and mobile phones), and the detection of
collusion (in theatrical movie distribution and international chess). Other
work spans contemporary Australian bookies on horserace wagering and market
structure in pre-Civil War banking. After spending eight years at WashingtonUniversity
in St. Louis, he is happy to achieve total
geographic confusion by being at MiamiUniversity in Ohio.
